Blog: Penny Pincher Fashion

Why We Love Her: Penny pinching is Kimberly’s specialty — but her life-long love of beauty and fashion has kept her style far from cheap. Who knew classy could be so cost-effective?

Kimberly’s Outfit Inspiration: “This gorgeous bordeaux shade was all over the runways, and I love the idea of mixing it with other autumnal hues like these teal ankle-strap wedges. A classic leopard-print blouse is always in style and pairs especially well with a blend of rich colors and a textured cognac bag.”
